The room was great. Nice job all around. But calling it a “peaceful retreat” was quite a stretch as it sits right next to busy freeway.

Economical and Well Located

This property was clean and had the basics but best of all was located close to Montecito and the beach in Santa Barbara. It is close to the freeway but the noise isn't overwhelming.

A sweet little spot

My boyfriend and 2 little dogs had a really pleasant stay. The place was neat, clean, and so convenient to the places we wanted to visit in both Santa Barbara and Montecito. Above all Fatima was very accommodating and friendly. I would 10 out of 10 recommend her spot.

Wonderful host

The bedroom was exceptionally tidy and well-organized, situated in a favorable location. Fatima ensured our stay was pleasant and cozy, even providing us with the option to use beach chairs and an umbrella, which was ideal for the sunny Santa Barbara weather. The proximity to Montecito and a short drive from State Street adds to its convenience.
